Stained Sub Floors

If pet urine has reached your subfloor you ll be caught in a tough cycle where stains will resurface in your flooring and you will have to clean them.
Stained sub floors. But plywood or osb sub floors are not meant to be lived on that s why it s called a sub floor. Sealant goes a long way to prevent future stains from setting in. That i would rip up my ugly paint stained den carpet and attempt to recreate the plywood sub floor into something special. I rolled on the stain because ain t nobody got time to brush it on.
While carpeting padding and laminates don t add any strength they do have cushioning and acoustic properties that add to the livability of a space plus they help cushion any deflection that. Thankfully my plywood sub floor was wood grade while not perfect by any means. Subfloors and urine don t mix. Your painted sub floor looks nice.
That also could be because we used such a dark stain. Concrete can also be covered with special subfloor panels such as dricore tiles to create a surface much like conventional plywood or osb subflooring. We did this for half the floor and i didn t notice a big difference. Also the instructions said to put your stain down within 2 hours of the pre stain for best results.
It was stained heavily with both previous owner s pet stains old paint from years past and a bazillion staples etc.
